XND:CC - Decarbonizing Nickel Production to Enable the Transition to Net Zero

It's a bugbear with which proponents of clean energy have been struggling to contend for years — how does one achieve carbon neutrality when the materials required to do so all have their own sizable carbon footprint?

Nickel is no exception. Although the battery metal is critical to sustainability efforts, traditional nickel production is incredibly energy intensive. While global nickel producers maintain that its role in reducing greenhouse gasses balances out emissions generated by its supply chain, it is nevertheless in everyone's best interest to make production as clean as possible.

Fortunately, responsible nickel producers have in recent years developed and integrated a multitude of innovative processes and technologies as a means of lowering nickel's overall carbon footprint. Their methods not only make nickel production more sustainable, but also have the potential to make it more cost-effective.
